My Valentines


I have several cards I've created for valentines day, using new stamps and my cuttle-bug. It works great and is so much fun to use, I don't know how I ever got along without it, lol.
This card was created on red card-stock, I added 2 different pcs papers with a wide red ribbon between. The heart was stamped and colored with prisma colored pencils and placed on an embossed white circle and placed on a purple round-scalloped punch, which I attached with a raised glue-dot, to add dimension. Inside it is stamped with "Happy Valentines Day".

A valentine " Love in Bloom"





This card was created with a cream card-stock, I added a red-embossed background for the flower die, the flower was attached with a raised glue-dot for added dimension, the flower, stem and leaves are glittered. The 2nd photo features the inside with the adorable daisies and the little flower fairy in the center and "Love in Bloom" below.

More valentines


On this card I also used the rose stamp image that I painted with acrylics and added a die-cut butterfly accent, behind it I used pcs with a sheer ribbon overlay on the bottom I added a pink purse brad and a heavy label attached with a raised glue dot and printed "Be mine" on it. Inside I used a "Happy Valentines Day" stamp.

Valentines continued


This card has a simple layout, I started with wine-colored card-stock, I used the lace punch on the corners of the pcs and I used my round scalloped punch to place the glittered flower with the heart brad in the center and finished with the red-dotted ribbon bow. Inside is a stamped frame with a heart label.

This card was created with a wine colored card-stock, I used floral pcs under the stamped rose image, the rose was painted with acrylic paints, I added die-cut butterflies, pink ribbon and used the cuttlebug to make the label stamped with "Love". Inside it is stamped with "Happy Valentines Day".

This card was created with off-white cardstock, floral pcs, the image was stamped with black and red and it's embellished with pink paper flowers with seed bead centers a heart rhinestone and cream and red ribbon. Inside I stamped " I'm thinking of you".

Valentine inspired cards and papercrafts



These two are basically the same layout/design with two different colors of card-stock for the base. They are both stamped with "Sealed with a kiss" on the front and the insides have a lip smooch stamped image. I also used a lace punch for the corners of the pcs.

New stamps and cuttlebug inspired cards





I've been going crazy finding and buying stamps, not literally, lol, and my dh got me a cuttlebug for Christmas, so I've been playing around with my new toys ;) Here are a few cards I created. The shopper girl is a Christmas card and the other 3 are Valentines, it's almost that time of year. I used my acrylic paints to color in the stamp designs, the shopper girl card says "Joy" inside. The embossed stamped card says "Sealed with a kiss" inside and I used my cuttlebug to emboss the background paper. The card with the flowers says "Thinking of you" inside and the embossed kitty heart card says "Love" inside. I have some more Valentine stamps on the way and am anxiously awaiting their arrival so I can create more Valentines. I'm still fairly new at creating handmade cards and am learning so much from all the other card crafters out there. Stay tuned for more to come. Thanks for stopping by.....
